Thought Provoking
Canada’s economy relies on its natural resources. The Importance of Natural Capital to Canada’s Economy policy brief says that, “We are not measuring how much natural capital we have, at what rate we are using it, or how it is being devalued by pollution, environmental degradation and unsustainable resource extraction. "Without valuing natural capital and including it in our national accounts, we are making decisions without full information -- and we risk making poor decisions. Unvalued natural capital and uncosted environmental degradation can lead us to economic activity that will degrade our economy’s natural capital and put at risk its ability to generate goods, services and income into the future.”
